Dirk is a sweet and helpful host. He was in constant communication with us and gave wonderful detailed instructions on how to get to his place. Dirk's place is a bit further out from all the touristy areas of Bangkok but very accessible to all the sight seeing places. His place is not far from the ferries which is a great way to get around! Dirk is extremely adamant about helping to plan out your stay in Bangkok. There are lots of food stalls right outside his place for authentic Thai cuisine.
